Maloca is magnificently located on the beachfront with stunning views, and delivers an exceptional foodie experience in a trendy, vibrant atmosphere. For the perfect evening sit back and relax in the beach bar as you sip a cocktail and watch the sun slowly slip into the sea, before moving to the restaurant to continue your evening. Sample dishes such as Homemade Iberian Ham Croquettes, Andalusian Squid or the Smash Burger - one of the best burgers we’ve ever tasted!
